The Glabar Park Community Alliance received the following email from the City of Ottawa. We encourage all Glabar Park residents to complete the surveys – make sure your voice is heard!

Dear Community Associations,

Please be advised that Maclaren Municipal Consulting has just published two policy options papers on ottawa.ca:

Housing Conditions Policy Options – This paper examines various options for regulating rental housing.

Short-Term Rental Policy Options – This paper examines options for regulating short-term rental services such as Airbnb and VRBO.

Residents are invited to review the policy options papers and complete two short surveys:

Housing Conditions Policy Options

Short-Term Rental Policy Options

The deadline for completion of the surveys will be September 4, 2019.

Detailed written submissions are also being accepted and can be sent to Jerrod Riley at jerrod.riley@ottawa.ca.

The GPCA received the following email from the City of Ottawa on May 22:

Dear Stakeholders,

The Public Policy Development Branch of Emergency and Protective Services is pleased to notify you of the launch of the public phase of the Rental Accommodations Study.

The City has launched a project webpage on ottawa.ca
with details of the Study and research findings to date.

The webpage includes three discussion streams:
– Rental Housing
– Short-Term Rentals (such as Airbnb and Flipkey)
– Student Housing and Shared Accommodations

In addition, the page includes resident surveys, research reports, details about public consultations and links to related City initiatives, such as the New Official Plan, R4 Zoning Review and Housing Services programs.

We are hopeful that you will share this message with your members to ensure as broad participation as possible.

Additional consultations will be planned over the course of the year. We will also be accepting written submissions from community associations and will make our best effort to meet with groups to discuss the study.Please contact me at jerrod.riley@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424 ext. 13850 if you would like to discuss any aspect of the study.

Sincerely,

Jerrod
